She hosted a fashion show, offered free makeovers and fashion advice, and held a clothing drive for Vancouver鈥檚 Downtown Eastside residents, and ultimately was named the winner of Blackberry鈥檚 BBM Fashion Challenge.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University student Theresa Tran entered the eight-week contest that was targeted to youths, encouraging them to show off their fashion, film, pop culture, sports, entrepreneurship or music talents, while documenting it all on their Blackberry, of course. The Fashion Marketing Diploma student naturally chose fashion.

鈥淔ashion is my true love. I鈥檓 excited to travel the world wherever my imagination takes me and use that experience to become an inimitable designer,鈥� said Tran.

The first place her talent will take her is to New York City. As the winner of the Challenge, Tran will fly to New York to meet MTV reality star and fashion designer, Whitney Port, who hosted the Fashion Challenge. Port, who dubbed Tran as her prot茅g茅, said, 鈥淭heresa has a real eye for style and I鈥檓 looking forward to meeting her to discuss all things fashion.鈥�
